In my last Post I showed you the first impressions of my Armies on Parade Project "Return of the old Gods" Since then I got some mails from followers, replies in forums and advice from friends that I should show some detail photos, since the bulk of things to discover is pretty loaded :) So after all here are some Detail Shots of the still WIP Board. Some areas could look a little empty since final details are still in work. When the Board is finally finished there will be some final shots but this will tale time until the semester is over :D

concurrent to the bikerstorm project for the golden demon I paint the "Lorelei" for the Brushbrothers & Sisters Contest 2013:

The story of the Lorelei is short. A beautiful woman sitting on the top of a cliff and singing. She sings so beautiful that the seamans come along lost there freewill and jumping into the flooding to get to her and diing in the eddy near the cliffs...

Study is keeping my time schedule tight but after all i wanted to show you the very first impressions of a nearly finished armies on parade board! The Name of the whole project is "Return of the old Gods". The Board shows an old and cryptic ruin of a pyramid. The native tribe living here worshipped their old Gods since Äons, praying to their Statues and knowing they would return one day. Now the time has come and the old Gods of the ancestors have arrived!

Remember this little guy? I showed a quick picture of him in my first post here, he is a project I started last August with the intention of creating something fun and derpy, unfortunately he has fallen foul to more serious projects, but with GDDE literally around the corner I have decided to get him finished along side the Slann.

At the moment I am adding details to the plane, increasing contrast and starting to tidy and smooth things up. The work on the base is still quite early yet, I still need to define the rocks more, increase the variation in tone and also add a orange sand/pigment layer on the bottom. Really glad am gettin back into this guy!

This are two miniatures by Wonderlands Project. First the bust KATTR' 42mm, resin , sculpted by Sam Rats, limited 200 exemplares! (a big surprise for me,my first bust and I like it :-D ). The second one is TIA 30mm, resin, sculpted by Olivier Bouchet, limited 200 exemplares! (...and my figure for the Brushbrothers &-sisters Contest 2013 ).

The project artbook wasn't planned in those giant degree they wrote at www.das-bemalforum.de. So the whole project needed much more time they thought at the beginning. I only could say, it was worth the wait!!!
Here some examples of the book Figure Art;

It starts with some incipient words and a small description of Roman by Raffael and Raffaele by Roman. (signed by them too) It was very interesting to read how they describe each other.

The book is splitted in different chapters, every chapter start with a explanation what the following pictures would be (for example the scale with a 1:1 sketch for better understanding)

Every picture is in a amazing quality and every miniature followed a note by the painter with informations what he thought painting the mini or how he get the idea to paint/sculp this piece.

A second example of a figure I realy like in large scale.

There is so much more in! I'm very proud about to be a small part of this project as supporter (and the first time I read my name on a "thank you page") But they do much more than that!

Because of the big demand Raffaele and Roman creat a second book in addition to the Figure Art book.: The Documentary Book.
This strech goal is amazing! Some of the things you can read and see here is idea and start of my favorite mini of Raffaele "Visions of Hatred - Demon Price"

...also a realy interesting chapter is the step by step of the whole work of the "Untold Honor" diorama (slayersward germany 2012)

Soooo, I like to say THANK YOU ROMAN and RAFFAELE! You have done a "terrific work"! I'm looking forward to met you two at gamesday germany and some of your workshops too.

And for those of you who want to get the Figure Art book two,I asked where you could get an example.
